What to check before you order
- Self-declared 'no pork, no lard' is not audited — sauces, stocks, flavourings and desserts can still contain alcohol or animal-derived ingredients.
- Ask about specific ingredients (mirin, rum, gelatine, rennet) if you dine here.
- Status can change — a brand may pursue certification later; check MUIS HalalSG for updates.

What 'no pork, no lard — but not certified' means
'No pork, no lard' is a self-declaration by the business. It only tells you those two ingredients are not used — it says nothing about alcohol in sauces or desserts, gelatine sources, cross-contamination, or how ingredients are sourced and handled.
MUIS halal certification verifies the whole kitchen, supply chain and processes. A no-pork declaration, however sincere, is not audited by anyone. Many Muslims choose differently here — our role is to tell you clearly which assurance you're getting.
